HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY BY HOLIDAY MATHIS FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2011

The void-of-course Libra moon brings a long stretch of indecision. Many will operate under the assumption that it's better not to decide at all than to decide wrong. The best move may be not to make any decisions. It takes real confidence to function in the land of "not knowing." In that place, anything and everything is possible.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Barraged with images of models and celebrities every day, it's no wonder so many suffer from low self-worth. Those people center their lives on looking good. Measure yourself against your own standards of "normal."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll be made to feel very special. Someone will ingratiate him or herself to you by offering you passes and privileges not given to "just anyone." Your enjoyment and appreciation of the act will ensure that it happens again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You keep up a certain pattern of behavior so as not to disappoint the ones who have grown used to it. As you go through the motions now, you may question whether you still want to do these things.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you were a child, your face transparently reflected your displeasure. Now you skillfully hide the sour faces of your youth as you opt for more mature and constructive ways to conduct yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You would be wise to help the authority figures you're dealing with to feel comfortably superior. They will appreciate your support, friendship and loyalty and do not need the threat of your competition.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Wake up and notice how rare your contributions are. No one else can do what you do in the way you do it. You don't always get credit, either. But give yourself credit, and celebrate your uniqueness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll have complete control over who you see today. So you'll likely hang around a certain person who always seems to have a way of making you feel comfortable and acknowledged.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won't have the same reaction to today's circumstances as the others around you. However, you'll still recognize that others have a right to their feelings, whatever they may be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your deep sense of inner security makes it unnecessary for you to acquire certain trappings. You know that you're not in competition with the rest of the world. What matters is what you think of you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will work brilliantly on a team of two. Like an expert improvisational actor, you'll have a complementary response to whatever twists your co-star throws at you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll enter a "safe zone" in which it is acceptable to want whatever you want in whatever quantity you believe would be most satisfying. This zone might be a space in your own mind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Compliments must be true to be believable. You'd rather be acknowledged for something small than accept a big compliment that doesn't seem to fit. You'll use this principle to make someone feel good.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 8). You create a sense of sacredness in everyday life. July brings emotional nurturing to you, and later you'll turn around and nurture someone else. You'll get a loan in August, and you'll invest in the education and resources needed to be self-sufficient. In December, you'll use your talents to make people happy. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 24, 3 and 14.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: There will be an unexpected development that spices up a relationship. TAURUS: Ask your love to tell you a story. Much will be revealed in the exchange. GEMINI: You are so cunning that you can outsmart your own self-sabotaging reactions and finally create the loving relationship you've always wanted. CANCER: You ride the currents of a situation that you cannot control, all the while knowing the moment is coming for you to take hold of the situation. LEO: You can almost hear the consuming thoughts of a person who wants your love, and this may frighten you. VIRGO: You rather enjoy the games of love, and you will make an impressive move. LIBRA: You don't have to surrender your entire soul to someone to prove your love. You'd rather maintain some autonomy. SCORPIO: As you concern yourself with what you think would be the most fun way to spend your time, someone else will be concerned with getting your attention. SAGITTARIUS: What good is a diamond in the rough if you're not a stonecutter? CAPRICORN: Look for qualities in a mate that indicate the person will encourage you instead of limiting you. AQUARIUS: You'll feel liberated and ready to try something new. PISCES: Ignorance may be bliss, but you'd rather know the truth.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio and Cancer are two of the most psychic signs of the zodiac. As water signs, they often unconsciously rely on their intuition, and there is a quiet voice inside that guides them to know what they couldn't learn through their five senses. This weekend they could follow their inner guides into each other's arms. Note: The best dates for Scorpio and Cancer will be near a large body of water.
